They differ depending on whether or not the vacuum background is included in the system. A recent confusion in this connection is clarified. © 1999 American Associations of Physics Teachers.735-736engTwo definitions of the electric polarizability of a bound system in relativistic quantum theoryArtigo10.1119/1.19362WOS:000081597500017Acesso restrito2-s2.0-00334122822-s2.0-0033412282.pdf8621258845956348
